Colab runs it in your browser. If it calls a model provider, it asks for that provider's API key in a cell.

How it works

You insert media URLs as references. Pixeltable stores the URLs and automatically downloads/caches files when you access them through queries or computed columns.

What it covers

  • Reference media files by URL (S3, HTTP, local paths)
  • Automatic caching of remote files on access
  • Process files lazily without bulk downloads

What it uses

Install
terminal
pip install pixeltable
Pixeltable calls
